In Heuco Mundo

Upon entering Hueco Mundo, the sheer power between (Y/N), Ichigo, Chad and Uryu sent an immediate signal towards the enemy.

Aizen: They've come.

Somewhere in Hueco Mundo.

Harribel and fraccion were heading down a hallway when all of a sudden she felt a familiar spiritual energy. Harribel stopped in her tracks and her fraccion followed suit.

Harribel: He's here.

Apacci: Do we have permission to track him down?

Harribel: No, we wait until we're given orders.

Even Orihime, in her cell, felt the arrival of her friends.

Orihime: They're here already?

Back with the squad.



(Y/N): *slightly quiet* We arrived inside a pretty well-made building.

Ichigo: I imagined Hueco Mundo to be a little more disorganized.

Uryu: *whisper shouting* Keep your voice down, Kurosaki! Someone should have noticed after the noise we made coming in!

Ichigo: Is this really Hueco Mundo?

Uryu: Are you listening, Kurosaki?!

Ichigo: I'm listening! This will be a lot quicker if they notice we're here. We can just catch the first guy who comes out and make him tell us where Orihime is.

(Y/N): I understand wanting information, but if anyone knows we're here they could easily alert the rest of the Espada and Aizen of our location.

Ichigo ignored (Y/N) and yelled.

Ichigo: Hey! If anyone's here, come out!

(Y/N): Ichigo, I will strangle you-

Just then the group saw a figure creeping from one of the corners of the hallway.



The group took off immediately. Uryu grabbed Ichigo by the collar and dragged him across the hallway.



Ichigo: Wh-Why are we running away?! We finally encountered an enemy! It's the perfect chance to get information!

Uryu: Are you stupid?! If we fight in this narrow place,what'll we do if the building collapses?

Ichigo: We won't do anything! It's not a problem if it collapses!

Uryu: You really are stupid! Didn't you notice while we were walking around?! There aren't any windows in this long corridor!

Ichigo: So?

(Y/N): What Uryu is trying to say is that we're underground! The fact that they're no windows in this place is a huge giveaway!

Ichigo: So what if it's underground?!

Uryu: Fighting here is not our best option! We've got to wait until we come to a wide area.

(Y/N): If this building gets destroyed, it's not the only thing landing on us! We're practically asking to be buried alive fighting here!

Not too long after, the group found a hallway that seemed to have light beaming through the door.

Chad: A hall?

The group ran through the door and were met with a wide open space with a staircase.

Ichigo: All right! You don't have any complaints about this place do you, Ishida?!

(Y/N): We're still underground, the amount of space is irrelevant right now!

Uryu: Stairs! It might connect to the outside! I'll go check!

Just then an Arrancar appeared out of thin air, blocking the staircase that Uryu went to check out.



Arrancar 2: Where are you intruders going?

Uryu: Another one! I guess there wouldn't be only one in a place this wide. It seems they've trapped us in between.

Ichigo: Yeah, no thanks to you!

(Y/N): Alright, let's calm down and focus on the situation at hand.

Ichigo: Are they Arrancars, too? They seem more like Hollows than the ones that came to the World of the Living. Well, that's all right. Anyway...Chad, Ishida, (Y/N), you three should stand ba-

Immediately Chad elbowed Ichigo out of the way.

Ichigo: Wh-What are you doing, Chad?!

Chad: You're the one who's going to stand back, Ichigo. Same goes to you too, (Y/N). We're going to handle this.

Ichigo: What are you saying?

Chad: Save your stamina until we find Inoue.

Uryu: Mr. Urahara gave me information about the Arrancars. The guys that the Arrancar named Grimmjow brought with him were a mixed team of Gillians and Adjuchas. Menos Grande usually turn into humanoids when they become Arrancars. But it seems that only the Vasto Lordes,the highest ranking Hollows, become humanoids 100% of the time. As for the other two ranks, even if they become Arrancars, many don't become completely humanoid. Also... The lower their intelligence,the closer to Hollows they become.

Immediately, the first arrancar threw a punch towards Uryu, which he dodged.



Chad: Ishida!

Chad tried to help Uryu, but was interrupted by the second arrancar shooting acid-like projectiles at him, stopping him in his tracks.

Arrancar 2: I can't ignore that. Demora is one thing... But I, Iceringer, have low intelligence? I can't ignore that at all.

The first arrancar, now known as Demora, yelled in anger.

Demora: Don't talk as if I'm the only one who's stupid!

In Demora's fit of rage, Uryu tried to blind side and attack him but Demora caught on and tried to attack first.

Demora: Don't run away!

Demora's big hands swiped Uryu. Although Demora's attack missed, the impact of the attack destroyed the ground below Uryu, kicking up debris that flew towards Uryu. Meanwhile, Chad, who was fighting Iceringer, threw a punch that shot a wave of energy towards the arrancar. Iceringer, however, dodged the attack and flanked Chad.

Iceringer: We can't become humanoid?! We discarded our human forms so that we could gain enormous power! Don't underestimate me, humans.

Iceringer shot more projectiles at Chad, which he blocked with his arm. Ichigo was itching to join the fight to help his friends.

Ichigo: Ishida! Chad!

Uryu: Shut up and watch, Kurosaki!

(Y/N): We promised to trust them, Ichigo. Believe in them.

Ichigo wanted to argue back but held off against it. Just then, Uryu and Chad turned the fight in their favor. Uryu gave Chad a signal before standing still, allowing Demora to rush him. But right before Demora landed an attack on Uryu, Chad landed a clean hit on Demora, cracking his mask and knocking him down.



Uryu: Now then... Let's retaliate.

(Y/N): Nice maneuver there, you guys.

Uryu and Chad gave an uncharacteristic thumbs up before turning his attention back to the fight. Uryu then summoned a bow made out of spiritual energy. This surprised both (Y/N) and Ichigo as they've never seen Uryu pull off a technique like that before.

Ichigo: Wh-What is that?

(Y/N): Is that a bow?

Uryu: Is it a bow, you ask? Of course... What weapon would I use besides a bow? This is my new spirit bow... Ginreikojaku.

(Y/N): That's so cool!

From there, the fight was a walk in the park for Uryu and Chad. Chad overpowered Demora while Uryu was always a step ahead of Iceringer, cornering him with a thousand arrows with his new bow.

Iceringer: Damn human-

Uryu: I told you that I was a Quincy, Arrancar. The reason I haven't exterminated you is so you can tell Aizen that Shinigamis aren't the ones he should truly be afraid of. It's Quincies!

(Y/N) could only deadpan.

(Y/N): *thinking* Just when I thought he had given up on the whole "who's better" thing...

(End Song)

Just then, the building started to shake violently.

(Y/N): What?!

Uryu: What's this?! What's going on?!

Chad: It's collapsing!

Ichigo: That's because you guys overdid it! Who's the one who was going on about how we were underground?!

Iceringer: You're wrong. This room is made this way. We guard this place. If there are people who are trying to sneak into Las Noches, we are to eliminate them. If we lose, we are to disappear along with this room. Remember that, humans. These are the sort of people you're fighting against. There is no end to this battle. There is no victory for you.

(Y/N) took Iceringer's words to heart. This is Aizen they're talking about. He felt bad for the two arrancars to be honest. The group couldn't stick around as the building was starting to tumble.

(Y/N): Alright, let's not sit around and twiddle our thumbs. Let's mosey!

The gang ran up the stairs with all their strength, just barely escaping the explosion. As the crew took the time to brush themselves off and catch their breaths, they took a look around.

(Y/N): We managed to get out

Ichigo: Aw man, I feel gross!

(Y/N) just stared off in the distance.

(Y/N): So this...is Hueco Mundo? *whispers* This is where mom came from...

Ichigo: It's a pretty lonely place, isn't it?

Chad: There's nothing here...It's completely white. There are plants here. They're withered, though.

Uryu: No, this is- It's made out of something like quartz.

Just then Chad turned around and saw something insane.

Chad: H-Hey!

(Y/N): What's wrong? *turns around* O-oh...



Uryu: Is this a castle or a palace?

(Y/N): So that's the place that guy was talking about, Las Noches.

Ichigo: It's huge!

Uryu: It's hard to tell how far away we are from it. I'm glad we're at a distance where we can see it in its entirety.

Ichigo: Does being able to see it make a difference?

(Y/N): It's comforting. A lot more than not being able to see it.

Chad: That's right.

Ichigo: I don't care either way. Anyway, it's safe to assume that Orihime's somewhere in there, right?

Uryu: Probably. There doesn't seem to be anywhere else they could hide her.

Ichigo: Right. Let's run. If we wait around,we might get into another fight.

(End Song)

(Meanwhile) Somewhere in Las Noches

It seems we have intruders.

Intruders?

Underground Path #22 collapsed.

They've broken into a pretty far off place!

Indeed

It would have been interesting if they had broken into the room with the Hogyoku.

That would be great!

Shut up! I'm tired. Don't talk so loudly.

The conversation was then interrupted by Aizen.

Aizen: Good morning, Espada. We have an enemy attack. Shall we have some tea first?

Tosen came out with a cup of tea for every Espada at the table. Once tea was served, Aizen started to talk again.

Aizen: Kaname, the pictures please.

Tosen: Of course.

Tosen activated a hologram that showed the crew infiltrating Hueco Mundo.

Aizen: There are four intruders.

Uryu Ishida.

Yasutora Sado

Ichigo Kurosaki

And (Y/N) (L/N)

One of the Arrancars, wearing an elongated, white mask spoke first.

Elongated Mask: Those are the intruders?

Another Arrancar who looked like an old man spoke next.

Old Man: These are just kids.

A sophisticated arrancar spoke up next.

Sophisticated Arrancar: They look so boring.

Aizen then took the time to correct them.

Aizen: Don't underestimate them. These are the same Ryokas that invaded Soul Society and defied the Thirteen Court Guard Squad.

An arrancar with spiky bones protruding out his head spoke up.

Spiky bones: There were five of them at the time of the invasion, correct? They're short one member. Who was it?

An emotionless Arrancar spoke up next.

Emotionless arrancar: Orihime Inoue.

An eyepatch wearing espada butt in to talk.

Eyepatch: So, they've come to rescue their friend? I like it, but they seem weak.

A familiar arrancar, Harribel, scolded the eyepatch wearing espada.

Harribel: Are you deaf? You were just warned not to underestimate them.

Eyepatch: I didn't mean it like that. Don't get your panties in a bunch. Are you afraid of them or something?

Harribel stared down at the eyepatch wearing arrancar, but the tension was cut with one of the arrancars, Grimmjow got up from the chair and walked off. Tosen took the initiative to stop Grimmjow.

Tosen: Where are you going Grimmjow?

Grimmjow: I'm going to kill the. They're vermin. The sooner they're exterminated the better.

Tosen: Lord Aizen didn't give you your orders yet. Sit down.

Grimmjow: I'm going to kill them. For Lord Aizen.



Aizen then stopped the argument.

Aizen: Grimmjow.

Grimmjow: Yes?

Aizen: I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I wasn't done talking yet. Please sit down.

Grimmjow stood still, not saying anything.

Aizen: I didn't didn't hear you, Grimmjow Jeagerjaques.

Grimmjow was immediately brought to his knees by Aizen's spiritual pressure.



Aizen: Good. Now we understand each other better. Now then, as you can see, three enemies have arrived. I wouldn't underestimate them but there's no need for excessive alarm either. I want you all to return to your palaces and go about your business as usual. Don't be overconfident. And don't be reckless. Just wait for the enemy. And don't be afraid. No matter what happens... As long as you're with me... No one... can defeat you...



To be continued

We're back! I'm currently writing the Fake Karakura Town arc and I've gotta say, this stretch of Events were really hard (but fun) to write for. Hopefully it's good.
